"Trump appointed Mizelle to the federal bench in late 2020 over objections from the American Bar Association that she had not been practicing law long enough to be qualified. A search of her other rulings found she had never previously applied corpus linguistics.
Neither Mizelle nor the Judicial Education Institute responded to requests for comment.
In response to the new disclosure, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who chairs the subcommittee on federal courts and oversight, called for more disclosure surrounding when judges attend ideological educational retreats.
'The multi-pronged billionaire-funded scheme to influence the judiciary includes flying amenable judges to luxury resorts to bathe them in the latest fantastical right-wing legal theories,' he said in a statement to HuffPost. 'At the very least, the public ought to know when judges are attending lavish 'seminars' promoting the agenda of partisan special interests. The Judicial Conference should take a close look at tightening its rules to ensure transparency around such junkets.'
Legal corpus linguistics is not inherently ideological. Nevertheless, as the right-wing legal movement increasingly insists that courts must interpret the law based on 'history and tradition,' conservatives have seized on corpus linguistics as a useful source of legitimacy.
'History,' as described by the conservatives who dominate the federal courts these days, has an uncanny way of mirroring the political beliefs of the modern GOP on issues like gun laws, school prayer, organized labor and abortion rights. Corpus linguistics, the thinking goes, with its air of big data, offers a potential retort to the accusations that judges are simply cherry-picking their view of the past.
But skeptics argue that it's just as easy for an ideologically motivated judge to cherry-pick results from a search engine.
'A lot of what legal corpus work tends to do is allow you to pick and choose your history,' Anya Bernstein, a professor studying legal interpretation at the University of Connecticut School of Law who has written critically of legal corpus linguistics, told HuffPost in March. 'You pick and choose your corpus, you pick and choose what you're putting into the software, you pick and choose your results.'"
